What do we give to patients with hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock?
|
Blood
|
|
In nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock (for ex. dehydration)
|
Crystalloid volume expander or
Colloid volume expanders |
|
Constituents of crystalloid volume expanders
|
Saline, glucose and sodium chloride which can pass biological membranes.
(rapidly expands both extra and intracellular compartments) Requires very large volumes |
|
Constituents of colloid volume expanders
|
Large molecules such as albumin, dextrans, gelatins, hetastarch.
They cause osmotic pull into the intravascular space. They however carry the risk of hypersensitivity reaction. |
|
Nevertheless, which is the preferred agent in nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock?
|
Saline
|
|
What are requirements for adm. of vasopressors?
|
SBP drop of more than 30mmHg
or MAP less than 60mmHg or end-organ damage occurs due to hypoperfusion. Hypovolemia has to be corrected first. |
|
Four nonadrenergic vasopressors that may be helpful during the treatment of shock.
|
Vasopressin and Terlipressin have been shown to decrease mortality when used together with vasopressors.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (amrinone and milrinone) They are however vasodilatatory but positively inotropic. Nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, because vasodilation due to septic shock is believed to be caused by prod. of NO. |
|
Anticoagulant used in septic shock which is also used in DIC.
|
Drotrecogin alpha (synthetic Protein C which degrades coagulation factor V to VIII we use it because microvascular coagulation is one factor causing organ damage in septic shock)
|
|
Mediators of septic shock
|
LPS (endotoxin) from the membranes of G- bacteria.
IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha Cascade of other inflammatory mediators. |
|
Inotropic agent used in anaphylactic shock in patients who are on beta blockers?

|
|

Eptifibatide (Blocks GP IIb/IIIa rec.) Tirofiban (Blocks GP IIb/IIIa rec.) Dipyridamole (Inhib. PDE and reduces ADP uptake) |
|
Anticoagulants (MOA)
|
-Heparin (GAGs, binds antithrombin III and reinforces its inactivation of coagulation factors by a 1000-fold, mainly thrombin and Xa)
-LMWH, Enoxaparin (same as heparin, but most Xa degradation) -Lepuridin (direct thrombin antagonist) -Argatroban (direct thrombin inhibitor) -Fondaparinoux (selective inhibitor of Xa via antithrombin III stimulation) -Warfarin (Vit. K antagonist, prevents gamma-carboxyglutamate formation on clotting factors which normally binds calcium) |
|
Thrombolytics (MOA)
|
Alteplase (converts fibrin-bound "fibrin selective"plasminogen to plasmin, which degrades fibrin)
Streptokinase (converts free plasma plasminogen to plasmin, which degrades fibrin) |
|
Drugs used to treat bleeding (MOA)
|
Aminocaproic acid and transexamic acid (inhibit plasminogen activation)
Protamine sulphate (binds with heparin and inactivates its action) Vit. K (causes carboxylation of glutamate residues on clotting factors, forming gamma-carboxyglutamate which can bind with ca++ and interact with platelets) Aprotinin (blocks plasmin) |
|

|
Lysergic acid diethylamide (50mcg enough)
Psilocybin Mescaline |
|
Drug classes for heart failure and their effect on morbidity/mortality. According to handout.
|
Diuretics (unknown effect on mortality, but effective for symptoms)
ACE inhibitors (decr. progression, and decr. mortality) Spironolactone may incr. survival due to decr. cardiac remodelling but shoudn't be combined with ACE inhibitors. |
|
Drug classes for heart failure and their effect on morbidity/mortality. According to Lippincott.
|
ACE inhibitors significantly reduces morbidity and mortality.
ARBs have unknown effects on mortality in CHF but they do have proven decreased morbidity in hypertension. Beta blockers show improved systolic functioning and reverse cardiac remodelling probably leading to decr. mortality. |
